Octagon Rosewood Chopsticks

Octagon Chopsticks Handcrafted from Rosewood Geometric in design, versatile in performance
Pictured here is a wonderful pair of versatile chopsticks hand-carved from beautiful chocolate-brown rosewood.

What makes these octagon-shaped chopsticks truly special is how they retain their symmetry for the entire length of the chopstick. Right down to the tip there are 8 sides. As far as we know, no other chopstick maker creates with such remarkable attention to detail.

Details include:

  • Fits comfortably in the hand of the user, extremely well balanced.
  • Completely hand crafted from rosewood using traditional methods perfected over 80 years.
  • Length: 23.5cm (9.25″)
  • Preferably hand-wash, although dishwasher safe
  • Set comes with a hand-carved wood chopstick stand.
  • Handmade smoked bamboo carrying mat available (highly recommended).
  • Remarkable craftsmanship. A pair of chopsticks designed to last a lifetime. How the chopsticks are made:
    1. Cut the carefully selected wood to the desired size. The wood used is either imported rosewood or ebony.
    2. Shave the wood using a specially designed plain from the Edo period (1603-1867). The artist rotates and gently shears each chopstick countless number of times until it reaches a preferred state.
    3. Once a group of chopsticks are created, they are dampened and spun together to create a unified length.
    4. With approximately seven chopsticks laid side-by-side in one hand, the craftsman polishes the chopsticks into their final shape.
    5. The chopsticks are polished again and laid to dry naturally under the sun for 1 day.
    6. A final polish and buff is applied, thus delivering a distinguished shine that helps to preserve the wood. With time, the chopstick will “age” gracefully and beautifully.
